Huobi Expands Reach To APAC Institutional Investors

SINGAPORE– December 18, 2018 Huobi Global has expanded its outreach to sophisticated institutional, API, and quantitative cryptocurrency traders with educational and networking events in both Hong Kong and Singapore.

“Our inaugural Huobi Prestige Investor events in Singapore were a huge success, so it made sense to expand our series beyond Singapore as well,” said Edward Chen, Huobi’s APAC Managing Director. “We’ve been gratified to see a real hunger among sophisticated traders both within the cryptocurrency space and beyond it for advanced tools, strategies, and data. In addition, there is a real lack of options in APAC for sophisticated traders and analysts to network, build relationships, and share strategies. Our Prestige Investor events series are our solution to that need.”

In Singapore yesterday, Huobi Global hosted 45 investors and traders for a deep dive into liquidity issues led by Paul Walsh, Head Of Trading for Tilde, and Ting Gao, Founder Of Tau Strategy. Among other topics, Walsh and Gao explored OTC versus exchange liquidity for top cryptocurrency pairs, liquidity imbalances in perp swaps, futures versus the spot market, the use of smart contracts in facilitating decentralized derivatives, and the need for institutional-grade derivatives to aid price discovery.

“APAC’s traders can expect to see more great events in 2019 on a range of topics,” said Chen.
